I Need My Best Friend – Part 13
‘I know, but thanks for saying so.’
‘Are you okay now?’
‘Much better, you should get some sleep.’
‘You know you can call me if you can’t sleep.’
‘I’m all right now.’
‘I’ll call you tomorrow night.’
‘I love you Bette.’
‘I love you too Tina. Good night.’

Thursday
Tina spent the morning at the center and went by The CAC after lunch to check in with James. She called Kit on her way to the house and asked her to come by she needed to talk.
She told Kit all about Monday night, what was happening with their therapy and her conversation with
‘Kit, do you think Bette will leave town if we don’t get back together?’
‘Is that the way you’re leaning?’
‘I don’t know. I’m so afraid neither of us could get through another break up if we did try again and it didn’t work.’
‘Don’t borrow trouble. Do you want her back?’
‘I can’t imagine not being with her, I’m just afraid.’
‘That she’ll hurt you again? I don’t think that’ll happen.’
‘I never dreamed it would happen the first time. I’m really not as afraid of that as I am that I’ll never be able to let it go.’
‘Maybe you’ll be able to once the two of you have discussed it. Things will be different once you have your questions answered.’
‘Questions?’
‘Girl, don’t even pretend you don’t want every detail.’
‘I do and I don’t. I’m hoping my imagination is worse than the truth. Bette said they were only together twice and there’s something about a conversation that she mentioned. I just keep seeing them when I think about being with Bette.’
‘I think if the two of you are going to try again it has to be based on what the two of you want to try to have together not what you think she had with her. It was short and it’s over.’
‘Do you think she would leave?’
‘I don’t know, she’s never loved anyone the way she loves you. She might have to get away, for a while. She feels like she’s let a lot of people down. I agree with Bette, you two need to set your own timetable. If you need more time take it. This is too important to rush.’

Gentle and tender, no rushing. Both of them need that. Without added drama, everything is dramatic already. Well done. I love this series!
How would Bette indulge Tina? Hmmm, Does making love like no tomorrow count?
I’m honestly getting a bit worried here…but let me say this was one wonderfully written chapter…intense, loving, sad, beautiful…very well done girl!!!
As Bette said, “what we’re going through right now is intensely personal” Alice asks too many prying questions and Tina should draw the line and not answer them. But you need to do the exposition…
Thanks
What a beautiful not from Tina!! You touched my heart. I can’t wait to read the next chapter.
Alice gave her{Tina} something to think,that if they didn’t go back together,would Bette LA. I know if it was me,my old shirt wouldn’t hit me in the butt and I would be gone,.Could stand to see the LOML with someone else. Tina seen to want her cake {others} and to keep Bette in her life at any cost. Wonderful chapter
I am getting worried too, please dont break them up
You put so much into this chapter. I hope B&T find their way. Remarkable writing.
Thanks so much for the long chapters. It really allows us to get totally caught up in the story…and such a wonderful story it is. I understand Tina’s fear…but her going back and forth is starting to worry me. Thanks!
As_always Great!! I love that you post the two chaps together, you get more into it, It was deep, it feels like if Tina need a little experimenting just to be sure, in spite she said she didn’t want to date other people, dunno… great writing!!
my favorite part thou, Tina putting Alice in her place, gish she even kick her!!
quote: I may know some things about Bette that you don’t. (lol, duh!!) :D
you have had some great moments but this was the best. Thanks for taking the time.
I agree very well written and very intense.. Sorry I can’t always comment it’s hard at work.. But please continue this is an excellent story…
This was a great chapter–I love the dialogue and Tina’s heart-aching ambivalence. Thanks so much!
great chapter — Tina’s tentativeness is palpable – and understandable – wants and fears are all mixed but Bette’s growth and calmness is helping the situation – there shouldn’t be ultimatums – I don’t think that Foxworthy should force them into any decisions – it is the direction that counts and their communication is improving – again, thanks for the enjoyable, truthful chapter..
You touch my heart when I read this story, it seems so real, I loved the letter from Tina it was so sweet, and right now Bette and Tina need that time together, but you can’t break them up.
